North and South

The land is divided. The Desert covered South, and the Frozen North. Each land similar yet so far apart.

The South.
People are heavily tanned by the blazing sun. Slavers roam freely stealing men, women and children, selling to the highest bidder. Women are nothing more then possesions and are expected to only marry, have children, keep the home clean, and please the man. Southern men are thieves, warriors, or simple men trying to make a living. Smack in the middle of the south is a part of the desert lined with crystals that intensify the suns heat. Here canabalistic tribes roam, captureing any who attempt to cross and either sacrificing them to the sun god, or eatting them. They carry curved swords as many southerners carry simple swords. And if the Desert tribes do not kill you, there are Sandstorms that can shred skin from bone. Sandtigers with poison claws that can kill a full grown man with just a scratch if not tended to. Southerners are usually dark skinned with brown hair and brown eyes with an average height of 6 ft.

The North.
Like the South women are expected to marry, have children, keep the house, and tend the man. However they have more freedom then the women of the south. And more dignity. Like the Tigers of the desert the North have Snowwolfs. They do not have poisoned clows but are still extremly deadly. Like the sandstorms of the south the north has snow storms that can freeze a person solid. It can rain for many days and if the sun happens to show itself there is very little heat. Though unlike the South, in the light of the sun it can be beautiful. The people of the North are Fair skinned, Blonde hair, blue eyed, and average around 6'4 in height.

In both the North and South people live and die mainly by the sword.

Note: If you have ever Read the Book "Sword Dancer" The setting is the same. There just is no Magical swords and Tiger and Del never existed.

There are no set characters so you may be who you wish. The Plot is just surviving.

The Setting starts in the South. In a Cantina within a small village. The air is thick with smoke from smoking patrons. Southern women serve men drinks, a group of people play cards in the corner.

This is the thread where you post your character. Those who said they were going to rp this one still have to post a character. That way we know what we are looking at and who is rping in said thread.

What is the time period for this? I just want to make my character perfect

Zalindrana
There really is no time period as this is not based on real world settings. But if I had to guess it was a LONG LONG TiME AGO! o.o

But If i had to say.. think of the Aladin movie. That would be how most cities are done.

Another sidenote, can Asha use twin daggers rather than swords? I know it's a stretch, but I think they'd suit her better. If not, it's cool, just thought I'd ask, since I was in the midst of asking about things and whatnot.

Zalindrana
Assassin is fine.

Zalindrana
Twin daggers are fine.

Zalindrana
Note that people are still signing on. I started the Thread already so that people can get a feel of thier own character. Try to keep the plot where it is untill we get more people up and running.

Ripper Jacc
Sidenote for all who actually care, as I probably won't bring it up very often in the RP itself... Ash and Cade have unofficially adopted one another as brother and sister. It'll make more sense later on, just... sidenotes...

Scarlet Fox
Hey. I know what book your talking about. Can I get in on it?

Zalindrana
Yeah sure I dont mind. As long as everyone else has nothing against it.

Scarlet Fox
thanks. im pretty rp experienced. So I post my persons stuff here right? Here it is:

Name: SnowWolf (( hehe like Sandtiger in the book... but the other way around ^.^))
Appearance: Short Blonde Hair. Bright blue eyes. Pale skin.
Profession: Sword Dancer
Area: North

Sucks you took out the magic part. But you want it to be unique i imagine so what ev ^.^"

Zalindrana
Looks good to me. though Del and Tiger technically never existed so try to not make your person too much like Tiger or Del... A combination might be interesting. However do not go with the same story either of them had. Make up your own background. Other then that have fun and jump in when ever you want.

Badwolf
Sorry for my absense, I will post my bio shortley

Zalindrana
Go for it.
